As of a life long Padres fan (I’m 27) There’s been only a handful of times when you could say that we had something interesting down on the farm, wether or not those players turned out to be great major league players is another topic. I remember getting excited for the pro debut of Sean Burroughs, and I will forever remember my dad taking me to the Q for Jake…

This spring I noticed that the San Diego Padres signed a free agent by the name of Cesar Vargas. After I found out his nationality, I was even more excited to see if he would make the…

After the disappointment that 2015 proved to be, many Padres’ fans weren’t expecting much from the Friars in 2016. Let’s take a look at the Padres after one fifth of their games have been played. The first series was pretty much the worst possible way to start a season. The visiting Dodgers made the Padres look like a single-A team, setting all kind of records for an opening series. At…

It is always a tough task to grade a draft right after the picks have been made. We still have not seen what these players can do at the professional level. As difficult as it might seem, and as wrong as I might be, let’s have some fun and grade the Chargers 2016 draft class. Many people (myself included) were expecting that GM Tom Telesco would choose between FSU defensive back…

Rams and Jeff Fisher have done it again, just like they did in 2012 with the RGIII trade, they have made a splash that will have a deep impact not only on their franchise but on every team picking in the top 10 of this years NFL draft.
